My name is Oscar! Let me be your guide on a journey to learn about water and how amazing it truly is. Like millions of others in the world, I live in a water- stressed region. Unsanitary conditions, unsafe drinking water, and limited availability to safe drinking water are just a few of the issues that millions of people struggle with every single day all over the world. When WaterStep came to visit my village, they taught my family and I how to practice healthy habits to prevent disease, and they also provided us with a means of having safe water to drink. Join me so that I may share with you what WaterStep has taught me, and together we can be empowered to help end the world water crisis! Lesson I: Amazing Water H 2O » Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS): Lessons are based on real life observations of matter and properties. (3-5-PS1-1) The roles of water in earth’s surface processes are explored (3-5PS1-1) Lesson II: Water Problems » Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each meets criteria and constraints of the problem. (5-ESS3-1,3-5;ETS1.1) Lesson III: Water Solutions » Science of engineering and development of models are designed and compared to natural cycles of matter. (5-PS1-1) Lesson IV: We Can Help! 1 » Communities are doing things to help protect earth’s resources and environments. (5-ESS2.C) Lesson I: Amazing Water Objective H 2O Students Will: » Learn that water molecules are made up of three atoms; two-hydrogen and one-oxygen. » Recall from life experiences water’s states of matter. » Illustrate a molecule. » Learn that Molecules interact distinctly in each state of matter. » Understand that the human body is made of about 70% water, and is dependent on water for life Materials/Resources Needed » Page 3: Student Reading Text: Http://Youtube.com/Dailc0sjvy0 » Page 4: Molecule Worksheet and Reflection Sheet » Page 5: Water Percentage in Body/Info » Page 6: Crossword Puzzle/Vocabulary Sheet » Anticipatory Set: Molecules Video Guided Practice: (Large group) » Page 3: Students will read text as a large group. Choral reading is suggested. Ask a volunteer to point to the words as they read so that all students will see the correlation between the voiced words and those in print. Guide the students through the Student Activity Sheets with a Smart Board. Click on video link for Anticipatory set. » Page 4: Illustrate the three atoms that make up a water molecule; one-oxygen, two-hydrogen. (Optional: after the short video; students can add positive (+) and negative (-) signs where the atoms join together as a molecule, forming a bond. The bond occurs because of an attraction between the negative and positive charges of the particles.) Independent Practice » Students will reflect on learn as they write sentences on the bottom of the molecule worksheet. Each sentence should include at least one vocabulary word (bold in text). » Page 5: Have students read their sentences to a buddy for oral language practice. Tell students they may called on to read their sentence aloud for the class during closing activity. Fun Activity Sheets Page 3 and Page 4 may be used as support material. » Page 5: Oscar helps demonstrate the amount of water in the human body. The students will be able to visualize how much the human body relies on water to function properly. » Page 6: Crossword Puzzle allows students to review vocabulary found in text. Students may want to work in pairs or check their answers with a buddy. Differentiated Instruction Students will prepare a personalized list of the vocabulary words with definitions in their science journals to use as a reference and support for reading and writing assignments. Ask students to circle bold vocabulary words as they find them in reading text. In this lesson, the vocabulary words are listed at the bottom of the Crossword Puzzle page. Closure Students will check to see that they used at least five vocabulary words of their choice in their writing assignment. 2 Randomly choose several students to read one of the sentences they wrote aloud for the large group. Lesson I: Amazing Water Student Reading Text H 2O Water Facts http://youtube.com/DAilC0sjvy0 » The particles in matter are far too small for the human eye to see. » A water molecule is one million times smaller than a human hair. » There are more water molecules in just “one ounce of water” than there are “ounces of water”in the Atlantic Ocean. » Matter is made up of particles called atoms and molecules. You cannot see particles because they are so tiny. A water molecule is made of three atoms. Two hydrogen atoms bond together with one oxygen to form a water molecule. Some particles are negative and some particles are positive. Since opposites attract, the atoms bond to form molecules. When many water molecules join together, they form matter. Matter can be seen by the human eye. Temperature transforms matter into three states; vapor, liquid, and solid. » Molecules in solid water stick close together like gum in a bubble gum machine. Examples of solid water are ice, snow, and sleet. Unlike solids, liquid has space between particles. The particles can dance around each other and move freely. Liquid water takes the shape of the container it is in. Heat transforms liquid into water vapor. Vapor particles move around so fast they can fly! Liquid Water 33°F - 211°F 1°C - 99°C Frozen Water (Ice) <_ 32°F <_ 0°C Boiling Water (Steam) >_ 212°F >_ 100°C 3 Student Drawing Activity Draw some dots with your pencil to symbolize the space and movement of water molecules in each state of matter. Vapor Liquid Solid Draw an animal or cartoon face with these circles to help you remember the names of the atoms which join together to form a water molecule. Label the particles of hydrogen and oxygen. Remember: 2 hydrogen + 1 oxygen = H20 = water! 4 What role does water have in the human body? » All living things need water to maintain life. » Water is a part of all cells, blood, digestion, and waste elimination. » Water helps bones to function and grow. What are some facts you have learned about water? Write at least four sentences on a separate sheet of paper. Show me how much water is in my body! About 70% of a child’s body consists of water. Color some of the buckets light blue to indicate the amount of water that my body is made up of! Each bucket represents one tenth of my weight! 5 Water Crossword Puzzle Down 1 1.
